The new FIFA 21 ratings were revealed two weeks ago, and not too many fans and players were happy with how EA Sports has dished out the ratings.
A number of world-class players have received major downgrades, and one agitated gamer has created a petition asking EA Sports to redo the ratings. The petition that has been started on change.org by David Mariyasin reads, “Request EA to redo the FIFA 21 ratings’.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s rating has decreased despite a stellar 2019/20. Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson and Paul Pogba have the exact same rating. Quite strange.
Here are 10 of the biggest downgrades in the FIFA 21 ratings.
